Recent studies indicate that intermittent fasting can help lower fasting glucose, insulin and overall insulin resistance in obese individuals with pre-diabetes. Studies will be conducted soon to see if these improvements also occur in type 2 diabetics. If you have type 2 diabetes, and would like to try intermittent fasting, we would advise speaking with your physician before starting the diet. We do not recommend intermittent fasting for type 1 diabetics. Long or moderate durations of fasting could potentially be very dangerous in this group of individuals.
Important note: If you have any medical conditions or are taking prescription medication of any kind for any condition at all, we highly recommend speaking with your physician prior to commencing any new diet, eating or exercise regime.
